University photographer Joe Pyykkonen stopped by the site today & offered some pointers on slush patching. We tried his combo method of misting and slushing to further prepare the base for tomorrows positioning event. The Nova is slated to be lowered in the middle of the box appx 7:30 AM Feb 1st. The bucket was loaned to us by the MUB cafeteria. The lady who gave it to us said "Hope you don't mind your sculpture smelling like pickles."
Hi Susie: Last we heard they are working on the webcam so that's still in the works. (It had to be moved due to the change in site) But video was shot this AM & we'll see if it can be posted or not ... & Weaslewes: Not sure about those pickles, but a wild guess might be hamburger slices ... we'll ask the next time we're in the cafeteria ;)
Collaborative artists Mary Carothers and Sue Wrbican have used this blog to track the progress of freezing a 1978 Chevy Nova in a block of ice during January and February 2008. They worked with various groups of people such as students from Hancock High School and Michigan Technological University, the faculty and staff of MTU and government officials from the City of Houghton. The blog traces the ups and downs of bringing this project through its various stages towards completion.

Details! I want details. Were they dill pickles, sweet pickles, kosher, hamburger slices?
